Suspect Sought In Mission District Sexual Assault, Beating

Police are on the hunt after an early Friday morning sexual assault and beating in San Francisco's Mission District. Sometime between 3 a.m, and 4 a.m., a man followed a woman walking on 24th Street from South Van Ness to Portreo Avenue. When he finally approached his victim, he demanded money. When she didn't give him any, he took her to another location. That's when things got ugly.

"The man then choked, punched, slapped and sexually assaulted the victim before fleeing on foot," reports SF Appeal.
